    Who is the most Underappreciated Fighter?

    The boxing game is typically dominated by a handful of fighters who command the spotlight because of their photogenic personalities and their ability to give the perfect quote. But what about those who fall under the radar? The ones that are the equals of the Roy Jones' and De La Hoya's yet don't get the fan fare of the aforementioned pugs. Here are a few candidates:

    Antonio Margarito
    Winky Wright
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Jose Luis Castillo
    Glen Johnson

    Who is your pick?

      Margarito has been exposed and Winky up until Mosley had lost ever single time he had stepped up.

      I would say its Castillo. Two wins over a prime Stevie Johnston, Cesar Bazan, Juan Lazcano and in the eyes of most is 1-1 against Floyd Mayweather.

        Castillo is way too underappriciated. Floyd clearly lost that fight.

          I listen to A Tribe Called Quest, Slick Rick, Onyx, and Black Moon mostly. I listen to all old school really.

            The first fight was Castillo's but the second Mayweather won.

            Castillo is underated.

              I'd have to go with Jose Luis Castillo. JMM wasn't that impressive against Salido and Winky knows Sugar Shane's game so much that Mosley couldn't do anything

                  JL Castillo without question, he beat mayweather fairly easy when you watch the first fight over. Castillo would have in my opinion been too damn strong for Corrales and if Casamayor fights like he did against Seda it will be a cake walk for JL!

                    Jose, I wouldn't really say Margarito was exposed by Santos, since junior middle and welterweight are two very different divisions.
                    Margarito should just stay at 147.

                    (1) Ronald "Winky" Wright
                    (2) "El 7 Mares" Antonio Margarito
                    (3) "Tuaman" David Tua (ok, maybe not that underappreciated)
                    (4) Jose Luis Castillo
                    And to round out the top five of underappreciated fighters,
                    (5) Montell Griffin (because he was recently robbed by Hoye)

                    And I will defend that statement that he was robbed by Hoye
